The Irish, hampered by the loss of three regulars through injuries, started five new men of whom the most brilliant was Freshman Jimmy Brennan, a skitterish halfback who scored twice in the first seven minutes of the game to give Notrt Dame a safe lead. Revise Irish Machine. Starling his first gnme for Notre Dome nnd playing in his second game of the year, the 18-year-old Milwaukee (Wis.) youth was the spark which revived the Irish touchdown machine.

Playing under heavy skies and In a chilly wind which numbed, the fingers of Notre Dame's pass receivers the Irish relied on a driving ground assault to beat down a stubborn Northwestern de fense which was badly over matched. Northwestern, winner of only one same this season, was out- gained on the ground, 324 yards to 02, and felt the might of the Irish In three minutes of the first pe rlod. With the Irish on Northwest em's 41, Brennan skirted his own right end, reversed his field and scored untouched. Brennan Picks Up Escort. Only four minutes later, Bren nan, who weighs only 155 pounds, broke loose from Northwesterns 28, picked up four-man escort of blockers and scampered over for another touchdown.

Bo McMIIHn's pigskin chasers went, on dress rehearsal here this afternoon In final preparation for the wind- up of the season next Saturday when Purdue's Boilermakers will be met at the West Lafayette gridiron. It was a 47-to-0 romp against the University of Pittsburgh with 5,000 chilled spectators in the stands.

It was a fine showing for the locals, who displayed much better blocking and tackling than when we last looked the team over at Columbus against Ohio State. Occasionally, however, there was some ragged ball handling, resulting from loose carrying. In hanging up the Impiosslve vie-otry the Hooslrrs scored seven touchdowns, two In the first period, two In the second, two in the third and one In the fourth, 15 seconds before Us completion. "Hunchy" Intercepts Pass. Indiana opened the game by kicking off to the Panthers and was quick on the trigger In reaching "pay dirt." Hoernschemeyer intercepted a pass and ran It back to the eight-yard stripe and on the third effort a pass in the end zone to Daranek was completed for a touchdown.

The kick for the extra point was missed, Following; the next klckoff to Pittsburgh Sundlielm of Indiana fell on a fumbled ball at the 36.

Including a forward pass to Hawkins, the Panthers ripped off four fonsecutlve first downs to run the leather to I.U.'s 26 following the ensuing klckoff. It was the first time the visitors had the hide In Crimson territory.

Line plunges netted another first down to the home team's 15, whore the Hoo' siers braced and took the ball over on downs at the 13.

To the open second period Indl- ana held for downs In throwing a visiting back for a 10-yard loss on i.no nrst play. The leather was rushed to the 40 where it was lost again when Jagade fumbled.

Pitts burgh then resorted to long passes which were knocked down and the Crimson took over the ball and drew a 15-yard penalty for holding. A beautiful pass, "Hunchy" to Kluszewskl, clicked, perfectly anrt the jatter raced to Pitts. burgh's 21 before being pulled to the ground. Line smashes took the hall to the 10 and a pass to A Adams was good for a touch down. The extra point was missed and this made the score to 0.

A dandy return of a punt by Hoernschemeyer, assisted on a fly nig block by Nestor, put the Crlm In scoring position again. On a "screen pass," Addams snared the pigskin and sprinted over the goal line for I.U.s fourth touchdown and the extra point was converted to make the score 26 to 0.

By FRITZ HOWELL. Baltimore, Nov. 18. JP Navy's powerful Middies tuned up for that all-important Dec. 2 date with un beaten Army today by pounding out a five-touchdown tattoo against a gambling, "shoot the works" Purdue team, beating the Boilermakers, 32 to 0, before about 35,000 in Municipal stadium.

The 1943 co-champions of the Western Conference reached Navy territory only once the 32-yard line as they absorbed their first whitewashing ir. 18 contests. The Navy line stopped all Purdue threats, but the Boilermakers never stopped trying, attempting to plunge for yardage several times on fourth down deep in their own country. Uses Four Full Teams. Navy used four full teams in romping to the victory, including four comolete backficlds.

and it didn't make much difference who vrs in there. The Middies cashed two quick touchdowns in the first period, got another in the third, and then raced to two in the last session as the Indiana squad tired. Two of the touchdowns came on plunges and three on passes, while three threats were halted in the shadow of the Purdue goal posts on fumbles, intercepted passes and stolen balls. Little Hal Hamberg, the 150-pound halfback from Lonoke, was the Navy sparkplug. The youngster, out with injuries most of he i season, set up the first touchdown with runs of 13, 17 and 11 yards, Clyde Scott of Smack over, going two yards for the touchdown.

The second marker was on an 18-yard Hamberg to Ben Martin pass the first, of two touchdowns scored by the big end O'Brien Steals Early in the third session, after a march from the Navy 11 to Purdue's 10, Pat O'Brien, Purdue tackle, stole the ball from Hamberg, but a few minutes later an intercepted pass sent Navy on its way to a touchdown, Albion W. Walton, 'sub back, who intercepted the aerial in midfield, plunging two yards for the score. Two minutes later the Middies were knocking on the touchdown door again, but a fumble wrecked the threat on the 11. On the first play after that Purdue lost its last hope when Boris Dimancheff twisted his left knee and was carried from the field. Dimancheff was the only Boilermaker able to gain against 'the Middies, his 15 jaunts being good for 95 yards and a 6.3 average.

From then on it was all Navy, the Middies marching 78 yards to their fourth touchdown which came on a 30-yard pass from Bruce Smith to Martin. The filth came just before the end of the game after a 48-yard march started by a 14-yard Charley Riehl-to-Ralph Ellsworth pass, and climaxed by a six-yard heave from Riehl to Art Markell. Despite the lmpotency of the Purdue attack; the Boilermakers Turn To Page 43, Column 5. Trojans Wallop California, 32-0 By RUSS NEWLAXD. Berkeley, Nov.

18.m-Southern California's smashing Trojans brushed aside another football rival in their drive toward the Rose bowl with a 32-to-0 victory over California today. Functioning smoothly and swiftly behind their formation, the Trojans snatched a touchdown when the game was little more than five minutes old. It was the start of a rout that tumbled the Bears to a one-sided defeat and evened un matters so lar as Southern California rooters were concerned. A stronger California eleven held the Trojans to a 6,6 tie in October. Lead at Half-Time, 20-0.

The Trojans came back in the first period for another counter, scored a third touchdown in the neeond quarter and charged off th field at half-time with a 20-0 lead. With substitutes largely in action the second half, the visitors scored touchdowns in the third and fourth quarters. California barely held its own against second and third-string players in the latter phases the competition. Coach Jeff Cravath's Trojan first string was an invincible yardage gaining machine that chalked up 297 yards from scrimmage and passes and 14 first downs in the first half. California, incidentally, had 44 yards total gain and one first dowa at half-Unit.
